It seems to always be blue for me. Are you still seeing this, or...?

I can't get this to work with these exact reproduction steps, but if you change step 1 to "Highlight some text and open link inspector" then this can be reproduced. I'll change the description.

Ah, I think my own "try selecting something" phase accidentally hit some text which was a valid URL, explaining my problems.
